Went to Public Bank this morning to open FD, but was told by a lady there that I can only open if I show them proof that I am staying within the same area as the branch, for example if its Setapak's branch bank, you need to show them you are staying in Setapak (IC or any bills send to your house)!! What kind of rule is this??!!!

QUOTE(gsc @ May 16 2015, 04:07 PM) Traditional or conventiinal product gsc, any idea about current RHB 12 months step up FD promotion? Will the interest rate at subsequent step up be affected by OPR too like Public Bank's one? Could not find such term & condition in their product disclosure, well.. at least not clearly printed out like Public Bank with regard to interest change due to OPR.If place for a year with rate 4% Fixed deposit. 4% rate will be locked in irrespective OPR moving up or down in that 12 months period Traditional step up product ( FD rate stepped up by quarterly) FD rate steppng upwards quarterly. Bank will pay as per the advertisement irrespective OPR moving up and down thoughout the 12 month period. Public Bank new FD step up FD product, Public bank specifically mentioned in their brochure and contract agreement that the step up interest rate may not be followed should there be a change in OPR. Meaning suppose a person has taken up a step up FD for 12 months period. Initially the second quarter period stated is 3.5% but Bank Negara has revised OPR downwards by .25%, Public bank has the right to revise downward the step up FD rate promised earlier even though the FD placement is for a year and still in the running. The reverse could be true when BNM raises the OPR. So far Public bank has not yet revised the step up rate since OPR has been remained unchanged. Bottom line is do watch on the clause and do not think the bank cannot change the FD rate after a person has placed the FD for a long period. |

QUOTE(bbgoat @ May 17 2015, 09:52 PM) Cannot go for it just because of the FD promo. Has to be wanted to invest in ASNB then go for it to get the FD promo as well. The sales charge is 5% plus GST. But I was offered 2% rebate where they will give me back 2% after the purchase.If you go for the FD/ASNB bundle, the sales charge is still 5% plus GST. Not 2% rebate. I paid 5% with GST for the FD/ASNB bundle in April. |

But did you also place FD and get 7 or 7.8% rate ? I think the RHB promo is either or only. That is what I was trying to say earlier. Sorry, misinterpreted you. Did not place the FD as the ASNB is closed during weekend plus want to do some research on the ASG before buying. From what I was explained, seen like I am getting both. Anyway, decided to just go for the normal FD promo This post has been edited by Plutoman: May 18 2015, 11:35 AM |
